Description
Here are four middle school STEM projects (science, technology, engineering, and math) that will keep your students in 5th, 6th, 7th or 8th grade engaged for the full year in your science class as they learn about the following:
- the scientific method
- climate change
- extreme environments
- a math topic of their choosing
This bundle includes four engaging student-directed projects to enhance Project Based Learning in your classroom!
How to Use:
- Each project includes all the necessary teacher instructions, student handouts, note-taking sheets, worksheets, and assessments (rubrics, self-assessments).
- Pick a project to use in each term. You have enough to use two in one term!
- Students carefully change variables, apply math and design skills to solve real-world problems, and answer questions about the world around them.
- They use multiple presentation methods to share their understanding.
- They are assessed using rubrics where applicable.
What's Included: 6 PDFs with over 40 pages: ready to print and use!
- Helicopter Project: Learn about the scientific method and independent and dependent variables while testing paper helicopters.
- Extreme Environment Technology Design Project: Design a new technology to explore extreme environments like deserts or space!
- Climate Change Solutions: Create an invention that could help to slow climate change through carbon capture, solar reflection, or a new idea.
- Personal Math Project: Use math skills to answer a question about a topic of interest. For example, how much water does it take to fill an NHL rink?
- Climate Change Handout FREEBIE: A quick and easy visual explanation to show your students the mechanics of climate change.
- STEM Experiment: The Penny Drop: A fun, hands-on science experiment perfect for any time of year!
Grades to Use With:
These projects are designed for students in 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th grade who are learning about a variety of science and math topics including the scientific method and climate change.
They are designed to support project-based learning curriculum and enhance student engagement and ownership over their learning!
